Hi Michelle,
i felt the same way when my 16 months of treatment finished. Your all of a sudden on your own and it's a bit scary. I also felt a sense of loss. The nurses and other patients who I had spent so much time with and had become friends with, that was all coming to an end. They all "Got it". For me it was like a a grieving process. Sounds stupid doesn't it. You think I would have been doing. Art wheels down the hall as I left but that's not how it felt at all. It actually felt lonely and scary. Also too, you can breathe now! It's over. You have time to acknowledge what you have been through and realise how serious things were. You've spent so much time being positive and now you don't have to anymore and the tears have started. It's such a mix of all different emotions for many of us. Just go with it and allow the tears. It's good to get it out. All the best, Karen xox
